@V8Sheppard Sorry! I should have mentioned sooner. All good, just everyone’s out with the flu. I’ll check out the live tweets and we’ll find a time to all catch up, @aliciatuck_YA too (if she’s good 😉)!

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@V8Sheppard Hey Holden! Sorry I didn’t make it down last night. Had some family stuff come up. How was it?

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@aliciatuck_YA Bring them 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@V8Sheppard Hahaha yes it is actually me I just wasn’t wearing my glasses at the time 😂

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@aliciatuck_YA @V8Sheppard Yes I do! 😂😂

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@V8Sheppard @PenguinTeenAus I roughly look like this but with glasses 👌🏼

[Get YA Words Out @getyawordsout]

@V8Sheppard @PenguinTeenAus Will do! There’s pics of me on @LoveOzYA and on @getyawords out on insta if you stalk hard enough 😂

Did you know, before #InTheDarkSpaces won an Ampersand, Aurealis & shortlisted for 6 other awards, it was rejected by 7 agents? So writers, keep on doing what you do, if you feel in your bones it’s your thing.👌❤️

We STILL want your stuff, trans creators!
* we want your stories
* we want your poems
* we want your comics
* we want your art
* we want your unclassifiable thingamobobs as long as they are speculative

deadline is JULY 1! https://t.co/Hk1gl590Rw

I've students asking specifically for LGBTQIA+ YA that are happy and/or where the character's queerness isn't a source of angst. Y'all, the lack of stories meeting this basic condition is a bit shocking. Please give kids windows to see their lives in a better world. 🌈 https://t.co/twnx83xsZ0

[Holden Sheppard 🇦🇺😎💪 @V8Sheppard]

I grew up gay in country Australia, and I nearly didn't survive it.

I've told my story for the first time at the link below.

Please RT - it may help someone.

It’s my birthday and I got a lip pimple. Why?
